My folks are downsizing. Mom said they should have sorted through all these things a couple of moves ago. But we all know what life can be like, and sometimes things get pushed to the back burner. When they visited on Easter Weekend, they came (well, my brother came) with my grandma's dresser. And a … Continue reading Banting, ‘Betes & Me: Part 1
